There are those who will speculate on any numbers of reasons that my colleague Laura Ingraham would raise such issue with the "girly b-roll" that Fox News runs. FoxNews' John Gibson readily admitted to me personally on two occassions that the overwhelming best ratings that both he AND Cavuto receive are for the "booby bits" (to quote Gibby.)
But I will say this from what I understand of Laura on a personal level and as a fellow conservative: She is the genuine principled conservative.
The most important point she makes is that virtue IS an asset to the free market. Argued another way - "capitalism without morality can lead to as immoral a world as communism."
It is interesting to see that the normally quite moral AllahPundit declares himself "off the train" on Laura's point.
Part of the reason that the American system has worked so uniquely from all others IS the historical virtue that was seeded in and amongst the writings of the founding fathers. It is virtue within the free market system that restrains the compulsion to extremism and restraint in itself is a lost virtue - so much so that in my book I spend a whole chapter defining it and calling for it's return. (And I do so to make the point that societal restraint will help defeat liberalism!)
Bottom line... it ain't gonna hurt any of us - to see fewer Paris Hilton/Carl's Junior ads on television - and shame on Neil for lying to Laura... they are both better and deserve better than that!
